:::I don't know if FIA has this clear stated in their regulations, but sometimes competitions change their status from World Championship to World Cup and vice versa. It has to do with the number of continents where the competition is held (I think at least 3 to be World Championship) or the envolvement of factory teams vs private entries. It happened in WTTC/WTCR, in WEC there are World Championships for some categories and World Cups for anothers. The "gets a cup" argument, for me its not valid since you get a cup or a trophy by winning both a Championship and a Cup, and also a race, isn't useful to distinguish.

::I'm not sure I see this precept that Championship wins are titles and Cup wins aren't. For instance, the headline karting competition, the [[FIA Karting World Championship]], is a stand-alone race. [[User:MSport1005|MSport1005]] ([[User talk:MSport1005|talk]]) 19:24, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
:::A championship can be a stand-alone race. The ''winner'' of the race is awarded the ''title'' of ''champion driver'' amongst awards such as prize money and physical trophies. Traditionally, cup winners didn't get a title, but now they can be called champions, title holders and so on, depending who wrote it and where you look.
:::Maybe people forget that often time a race, such as Macau's, is happening as organised by its local organiser and approved by its local ASN; and will have its own winner despite what the FIA does with its titles/trophies/awards/cups/championships.
